Re: SBS2003 - Cannot restore GPO following Article 888943

Hi,

My profuse appologies. I should have checked sooner... someone had
enabled SBS Backup and the system state files are available from a day
or two before the crash! (This is embarassing to admit.)

I did a test restore to a temp directory and verified the presence of
system state files and data. I've verified that junction points exist.
I noted that there are policies under the backup state that don't
exist under the current state (in SYSVOL).

I did not rerun CEICW. I'm not confident that I can reboot and
successfully log in under the circumstances. DNS entries have be
altered as requested. (The question remains: why have alternate DNS IP
settings if you don't use them?)

One more question: Will a state restore alter access to any of the
exchange data store files created since the backup? i.e., since the
user has extensively modified the private & public databases in
exchange, will there be any problems after a system state restore to
a previous date?

Thanks for your continued assistance.

AJ
